Dreamweaver doesn't see my .css file, why (screenshot included)?

I get the below pop up, as you can see the file is in the folder, on my drive locally. I tried clicking on the get blue button but nothing happens. Anyone know why this is happening & or what I can do to fix it? thank you, Stacey

Hi Stacey,
please have a look to your source code of your tours.html. You will find, probably, these "///", what means DW thinks that your main.css file is linked outside the local root folder and situated on your hard drive. "///'-type link will not work on the web.
If not, please send a link to your website, no matter how it looks like.

Help! Sometimes Dreamweaver CS3 can't see my .css file

Once a day or so dreamweaver cs3 can't see my .css file. So
all my files that I am working with turn to poop. To fix I have to
close each file and re-open. Then my .css returns and all my files
are how they should be. Anyone else ever have this problem?

That I do not know - I've never looked. From the styles
panel, I do know that it does not completely disapear - it shows
the .css - just all the rules are missing. I will look next time.
Usually only happens when multiple files are open. Thanks

Dreamweaver can't see my css or template files

I'm sure this is a simple problem with a simple answer, but it's baffling me...
I'm currently setting up a new site with a new local root folder. I'd like to make some pages for this new site based on my existing css file and templates. I put these files into my new site's local root folder, then clicked through the usual 'Page from template' procedure and created a new page from one of my templates in the normal way.
Trouble is, as soon as I try to save the page I've created, I get an error message: "This document uses the following files not in this site -" Dreamweaver then lists my css file and various image files. But all the files show up as present and correct in my new local root folder!
The error message box gives me the option to copy the files to the local root folder of my new site - although, as I've said, as far as I can see from a glance at the Files panel, they're all there already. In any case, if I click the "Copy" button, I get another error message: "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
I can upload the page, but it comes up with no formatting - here it is: http://www.nemesis.to/testpage.htm
Looking at the code, I see that the css file is linked like this:
<link href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/michaeljohnson/Documents/newpagestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
I suspect that might be where the problem is. I would expect that line of code to look more like this:
<link href="newpagestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
But I have no idea why that's happening, or where to go from here. I suppose I could re-write that line of code by hand, but that doesn't amount to fixing the problem. I'd like the whole thing to work normally from the first click!
Have I got my css file and/or template files in the wrong place? What do I have to do so Dreamweaver can find the files?
All advice welcome - thanks for any wise words you might have. Sorry if this all seems very simple, but I really don't know enough about this stuff to make progress from this point.

Oh, yes, I think it's all ludicrously over-complicated! The thing is, I've been using my templates without any trouble for ages. The problem only came up when I created a new local root folder, copied my template and css files into it, created pages using those templates and - suddenly I've got no formatting.
Everything in the old local root folder is still working fine. I can make new pages from the template files in that folder and it's all good. It does look like the copy/paste process broke the essential links, but how could that happen?
I suppose I could create new templates from scratch in the new local root folder, but that seems unnecessary when I've already got template files that work perfectly - in the *other* local root folder!
Anyway, here comes the code...
This is the page_layout.dwt file as it appears in my old local root folder. This is the file as it appears in my old local root folder - the one that that works!
Note the link to the css file, which I've made bold here:

And here is the file as it appears after I'd copied it into my new local root folder. This is the version that won't give me any formatting. Note the link to the css file has changed. This surely must be the problem, because I can't see anything else that's different - but how could that line change simply by copying the file into another local root folder?

Sorry for the big wedges of code - and sorry for this being such a stupid problem. I'm almost ready to scrap the whole idea of creating a new local root folder!

Template page doesn't update the css file location

I've been using Dreamweaver for years; been using templates for years but can't figure why this now happening.
I create a new page from a template (that I've used for years) and everything on the page (including image and other links) is fine and updates properly; Links to css files do NOT update.
The relevant template code is as follows:
@import url(../p7pm/p7pmh13.css);
@import url(../tourstyles/tour2fluid.css);
The page code is as follows:
@import url(file:///D|/Wine Tour/p7pm/p7pmh13.css);
@import url(file:///D|/Wine Tour/tourstyles/tour2fluid.css);
I've switched the links relative from document to site root and back again with no joy.
Sure would appreciate a pointer on how to fix this. Thanks.

It looks as though the site definition is wrong. Have you fallen foul of the problem with the latest versions of Windows not registering the site root folder correctly? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/478327.

Dreamweaver doesn't see my template anymore

I honestly searched this forum for my issue but not having
any luck. I need to edit a Dreamweaver site. I created it using a
template (.dwt) and it has never given me any trouble until now.
For some reason when I edit the template and save the file,
Dreamweaver doesn't ask if I want to update the pages anymore. It
used let me know about updating my pages in the past and I sure
don't recall ever telling Dreamweaver to not update.
Anyway, in order to get around this, I tried to reapply the
template, but when I make the attempt, Dreamweaver doesn't
acknowledge that my site has any templates.
(Modify>Template>Apply Template to Page> I see a "no
templates" message) So I cannot apply my template or any template.
Furthermore, if I try to edit the actual page, DW won't let me edit
the template regions. The preview shows the name of the template in
the upper right corner of my HTML pages. What can I do? to fix
this? Right now, I'm locked out of my pages. Thanks.

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

Dreamweaver is randomly deleting my .css file and then crashing...need help ASAP!

I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 at my job. I just built a new website for the company using it and for a while, it was deleting the css file completely while in dreamweaver, but it had the little * next to the title like it hadn't been saved. i would usually try to close it without saving or crashing it which is normally does after this happens. So far, the css files have not been totally deleted...yet. I'm not waiting around for that to happen before I try to fix it. I've searched google and the forums and have found nothing or any related topics. I had my computer completely reformatted and that seemed to have fixed it for a short time. Now I'm on another web project and it's doing it again, but this site is bigger and more important than the last, and I don't have as much time to work on it. Has anyone come across this bug at all? I need to get this fixed ASAP...I would really hate to lose my files. I tend to hit Ctrl+S instinctively these days and i'd hate to do that while it's been deleted. not to mention the downtime of restarting Dreamweaver only to have it do it again 5 minutes later.
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit
Dreamweaver CS 5.5
24GB RAM
intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz/2.66GHz (2 processors - 24 cores)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
Please let me know if there are any solutions to this. Thank you!

Hmmmm.... When file content randomly disappears, it's usually a symptom of something much deeper -- like a nasty Trojan/Virus, a failing hard drive, bad CPU or corrupt user account.
You can try the usual DW solutions below, but I think you might want your IT guys/gals to run some diagnostics on your computer.
#1 Ensure your CSS & HTML files contain valid code. Use the W3C tools below.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
http://validator.w3.org/
# 2 When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
#3 If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
#4 If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

Good luck!

Powerbook doesn't see new HD. Why?

My HD died so I installed a new one. Everything seemed to work fine. The drive fit like a glove, the plug went in cleanly. I am trying to install Leopard but the computer can't see the new hard drive. With the computer booted from the the install disk, I ran Disk Utility and it doesn't see the new HD.
Do you know why the HD can't be seen and what I need to do the get the computer to recognize it?

Hi, Ian. At this point I recommend either replacing the flex cable for the drive or replacing the new drive itself. If you can exchange the drive on the basis that "it seems to be bad, because my computer doesn't see it after I've checked its connections carefully," do so. If you can't, a new cable is inexpensive and might turn out to be the solution you're looking for. Either way, you may rule out one of the three possible culprits.
For the cable, try:

Appletv doesn't see Photos app library, why?

After updating to the new Photos app from iPhoto my apple tv doesn't see my computer's photo library. iTunes doesn't see it either to choose which folders to share for home sharing.
Is this a drawback to the new Photos app?
Thanks

iTunes is up to date, I don't even see the Photos library in the pull down on the home sharing prompt. Is it because my photos library is on an external drive? iPhoto had no problem seeing this. Do I have to go back to iPhoto or will Apple week this?

IMovie '09 doesn't see any audio files or still photos.

I just migrated my G5 iMac to a new iMac. I now have iMovie HD '06 on the new iMac and it works just fine. The problem is iMovie '09 and iPhoto. Neither application can see the audio files to add background music, sound effects, etc. Also, iMovie can not see iPhoto photos. iMovie can see the iPhoto videos. I can add movie clips to iMovie, so that seems to work.

You could have a bad install. There's a thread/threads around here talking about the viewer being all white due to a bad install of the program or a corrupt user. I've also heard it manifest with a black screen instead of white.
Quickest thing to check. Create a new user account. Log in there, and open Motion. If Motion opens fine, then you have a problem with your normal user account.

Adobe Reader doesn't see my PDF Files

When I use bluetooth to transfer PDF files over to my Palm Centro, it automatically accepts them into the application "Documents", which is another Palm program my Centro came with. When I open Adobe Reader, it can't see the PDF file, only the program "Documents" can see it.
What do I do if I want to open the PDF file with Adobe Reader?

Setting up your email is a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd suggest asking for help in the Apple forums devoted to the iPad. Good luck.

I updated to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5. After the update, Aperture doesn't see referenced files. I get "No Referenced Files"

I updated to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5. All my images are referenced on a stand-alone drive. After the update, Aperture displays thumbnails, but I can't edit because Aperture doesn't see the referenced file ("image offline") and when choose all of my images and I run locate referenced files ... I get "No Referenced Files." I don't get the screen to "look" for the files.

Did you make a clean install and restore the library from a backup? No.
Or did you install the new system amd new version on top of the old system? Yes.
What version did you upgrade from? 3.4
Is your Aperture library onyour internal drive or also on an external drive? External
During the update, has your Aperture library been moved in any way? No, its still where it was on the external drive.
Thanks for your help. Ideas?

Stop Dreamweaver loading scripts/CSS files included in a page

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (Mac OS X 10.10, Yosemite) has a big BUG... isn't possibile build with it large/complex websites.
If I have a website with large numbers of css files (or scripts), Dreamweaver takes too much time to load/save a page that included them (the wheel turns indefinitely).
Is it possible to stop Dreamweaver from loading scripts and CSS files included in a page while I'm working on it (even temporarily)?
I know that without this function (load external files) Dreamweaver is absolutely useless, but at the moment I haven't still found another IDE tool and I need to work with speed.
Thanks

Live View, Code View or Design View?
Have you validated your code to check for errors?
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
You could comment out your links to external scripts and CSS Files.

To turn off styles in Design View only, go to View > Style Rendering > untick Display Styles. Or consider using a Design-Time Style Sheet.
Dreamweaver Help | Use Design-Time style sheets
To speed things up a bit, try these tips:
1. Edit -> Preferences -> Code Hints -> Disable description tooltips
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Highlighting -> Untick both Live Data Untranslated and Translated
3. Edit -> Preferences -> Sync Settings -> Untick all in sync settings

DW 4 not seeing GoLive .site file!

I have several sites created in GoLive 7. I downloaded the GoLive 9 free trial, brought them over into GL9. Then I did the "Convert Site to New Structure" command as I have seen suggested. Downloaded the GoLive to DW migration extension and installed it. So far so good.
But when I go to Import GoLive Site, and navigate to the folder where the site file is (there are actually several, only one is the current one), Dreamweaver does not "see" the .site files, even though when I look in the window in explorer, they are there. All I see are the web-content, web-data, and web-settings folders, but no .site files at all.

This is an issue that I have never come across before. You're
using a
non-standard filename extension, so it doesn't particularly
surprise me
that Dreamweaver ignored it. Have you tried entering
.properties in the
list of filename extensions, as I suggested? If that works,
your problem
is solved. All that's needed is for the documentation to be
made more
explicit.
On the other hand, if your filename extension is likely to be
in
widespread use, perhaps it's something that should be added
to the
standard list of files that Dreamweaver handles. Submit a
feature
request to the Dreamweaver team.

Can I recover HTML or CSS file codes?

I was working on an html site and my pc cut off power. After restarting and opening dreamweaver again, the html and css file codes were gone. Is there any way I can recover the code?

Dreamweaver doesn't have autosave, so your recent work done locally is gone. If this is a revision of files already on remote server, you can obviously download an earlier version off the server. Good luck.

ITunes doesn't see podcasts it has previously downloaded

Hi,
I use iTunes to download podcasts as mp3 files. I had to uninstall iTunes and install the latest version. All went well, but now iTunes doesn't see the mp3 files previously downloaded. Is there a way I can tell it to treat those mp3 files as podcasts it had downloaded?
Many thanks, Dan

I am having trouble getting a m4a podcast to download in my podcast feed also. I tried unsubscribing and subscribing again but that didn't help. I am using feedburner with smartcast enabled for all rich media files, so that shouldn't be a factor.
This is the first time I have tried posting an enhanced podcast within my feed, however. This is my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/speedofcreativity/podcasts
I read online that naming fileswith the m4b extension is more compatible, but that didn't work. I can use the direct link and in QuickTime choose file - open URL and it works. The feed is also updated and includes the latest post with this enclosure. So for some reason there is a problem with iTunes recognizing it. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks
